Daniel Akinwunmi will portray the protagonist Jack Stone because the director has seen his acting ability in other school plays and knows Daniel can convey the required emotions. Loretta Gleeson will play Doctor Thompkins since she is an assistant headteacher familiar with delivering difficult news, so the role will not require much acting. Asad Ilyas will play the thug Dwayne due to his ability to make people uncomfortable, and because the role requires little dialogue or acting experience.

2. Jack Stone
 Portrayed by Daniel Akinwunmi
 I chose Daniel to play the protagnist, Jack, as I have
seen him act in other productions such as school plays.
I decided that he could portray all the required
emotions and actions needed for the production such
as the emotion of hearing his life is actually useful for
once and his reaction to getting stabbed
 Daniel goes to the same school so meeting would not
be a problem. I also confirmed dates for filming with
him and we made that I was always on schedule.

3. Doctor Thompkins
 Portrayed by Loretta Gleeson
 Loretta will be playing a doctor who gives Jack the
good news that he has been saving lives
 I decided to use Loretta as she is an assistant head at
my school. She has dealt with many situations as well
given bad news to parents such as exclusions. I
thought that the role will not of been that different to
being a teacher so she would not have to ‘act’ as much.
 As the roles were similar, I had no worry about her
acting ability.

4. Dwayne
 Played by Asad Ilyas
 Asad will portray a thug who is after Jack as he owes
him drug money.
 As Asad is someone who could make people
uncomfortable easily, I felt that this role will be perfect
for him
 As he had no previous acting experience, the role itself
does not require much e.g. No dialogue, so I had no
worry that he could fulfil the role of Dwayne.
